Week 321 – April 22nd, 2017

“Be with you always” (#1) is first song at #1 since “Keeps getting better” (#14) which defended the top position of my chart. But behind this song by Mighty Oaks US band Cold War Kids are scratching at the throne with their song “Love is mystical” (#2). Only one step up and they could celebrate the bands first #1 on my chart. For the first time under my Top 3 acts are another band from the US. MisterWives climbed up one spot with their song “Machine” (#3). Directly behind these bands is the first song by Leslie Clio in my Top 10. “Darkness is a filler” (#4) also climbed up one spot and is now attacking the Top 3. By the way Leslie Clio is the only act in my Top 5 who had a #1 before. Next in line is Lithuanian singer GJan. With her electronic pop song “Wasn’t easy” (#5) she is still continuing her success with entering my Top 5 for the first time in her chart history.

Two weeks ago Ed Sheeran reached the #1 spot on my chart for the first time in his career with “Shape of you” (#6). This week “Shape of you” dropped four spots and is now outside the Top 5. “Shape of you” is still a very good song, but there is a more “younger and fresher” sound coming up as “And I’m leaving” (#7) by German Leslie Clio who debuted within the Top 10 with this song a week ago. This week sees another Top 10 debut from an act from Germany. You know Wincent Weiss? If you’re following my chart you’ll definitely know that he had no chart hit before. Wincent Weiss participated in the 10th season of DSDS back in 2013, but he failed to reach the live shows. In autumn 2016 he released his first solo single “Musik sein” (“Be music)” which reached the Top 10 in Germany and Austria. It had been a tough decision not to debut this song, but for me there is something missing. His follow up “Feuerwerk” (“Firework”) also failed to enter my chart, but with his third single “Nur ein Herzschlag entfernt” (“Only a heartbeat away”) from his debut album “Irgendwas gegen die Stille” (“Something against the silence”) he shot straight into my Top 10. First I thought that this is a good song, but a Top 10 hit? But a week later I’m listening to this song and listening and listening and … . At the end I was really surprised that this song met all my criteria for a Top 10 debut, but hey this song brilliant and so “Nur ein Herzschlag entfernt” is debuting one spot behind last week’s highest debut. This week’s Top 10 is rounded out with the Anouk songs “We are” (#9) and “Castles in the air” (#10).

Only one other song is debuting in this week’s Top 50. It is by Canadian act The New Electric. Last year they released their first single “Life’s what you make it”, but this song failed to enter my chart. In autumn 2016 they released the bands single “Ride this feeling” (#48) which I’m debuting this week. For me this song is a good appetizer for the summer, but at the moment I don’t know where the journey will end. Next debut just missed the Top 50. It is by German singer Lena. On my chart she is best known for her 2015 #1 hit “Traffic lights”. Now she is back with the first single “Lost in you” (#52) from her new album “Gemini”. “Lost in you” is a nice song, but I doubt that this will be her next #1.

Other debuts are “Alles” (#60, “Everything”) by SAM, “Vielleicht” (#61, “Maybe”) by Miawata, “Hard times” (#62) by Paramore, “Good news” (#91) by Ocean Park Standoff, “Hold on” (#92) by Chord Overstreet and “Gravity” (#93) by Leo Stannard & Frances.
